Into this Eden comes young editor Sam Flint, whose newspaper,The Payday Pioneer, earns him friends with the town and trumpets Payday's glories throughout the West. Sure enough,The Payday Pioneerlures settlers to the town. But to Sam's dismay, they are settlers of the wrong kind. Soon, Flint finds himself in the middle of an all-out war for control of the town.
